Is it just me or is Monday the perfect day to get your procrasti-bake on? I’m on swot-vac and with my next exam not until next Friday I’m not feeling much urgency yet. There is no guilt in leaving the books for a little while and following my instincts in the kitchen – my own personal form of therapy (that and barefoot beach walks).<\/p>\n

The other day I had the idea to make a muffin recipe that included bone marrow (after this bone marrow custard recipe<\/a> went down a treat with my family).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to\u00a0my recent\u00a0gall bladder dilemma<\/a> , little miss ‘give-me-all-the-fat-and-then-some’ has had to lower her fat intake.<\/p>\n

I’ve been making broth with bones only after<\/em> removing the marrow. I’ve had raw bone\u00a0marrow – too good to waste – sitting in a cup in my fridge and I’ve been brainstorming creative ways to use up the marrow in recipes that my family will eat without hesitancy.<\/p>\n

This recipe was today’s experiment and I must say it ain’t too shabby. Now, these are allergy-friendly, minimal ingredient muffins and therefore NOTHING like regular muffins. They are<\/em> sweet (but not overly-so and can be used as a savoury accompaniment to a soup) soft, smell-amazing (your house will smell like rich, buttery cake!) and have a beautiful muffin-y texture.<\/p>\n

That said, they will inevitably sink in the middle, be flatter than your average muffin and if you’re used to “normal” flour, milk, butter, sugar, egg containing-muffins, you’ll likely have complaints.<\/p>\n

For those that need a nut and seed-free muffin recipe that contains no fillers, or those needing to sneak nourishing marrow into their diet for gut-healing purposes or even those stuck on stage 3<\/a> of the GAPS diet, these muffins will fir the bill. Bone marrow contains the building blocks for a strong and healthy immune system and is the ultimate power-food to fuel you through a chilly winter.<\/p>\n

One of\u00a0the most popular recipes on this site is my GAPS muffins (also dubbed ‘Fat Bomb Muffins’<\/a> by my friend Jo<\/a>) and this recipe is based on them, except I swapped the nuts for butternut pumpkin and the butter and\/or coconut oil for bone marrow. If you love those (or these<\/a> or even these<\/a>) then I highly recommend the next time you have some marrow bones that you whip these up.<\/p>\n
